Acceptance of the
measures among
citizens
The implementation process has
been supported by different actions
to achieve wide acceptance
of the measures: comprehensive
PR activities were carried out:
...the emission
values for PM 10
and
NO X
are exceeded
every 2 nd to 3 rd day
predominantly at
heavy traffic sites
in the centre of
Stuttgart?
» a “Round Table on Clean Air
and Noise Reduction” was introduced
in 2005;
» a public awareness campaign
was conducted in 2006 to raise
awareness of the topic of PM 10
and the possibilities of reducing
it by environmentally friendly
transport modes such as cycling,
public transport and car pooling;
» a public-opinion poll was
conducted among the citizens of
Stuttgart on the measures of the
Clean Air Programme in 2007.
Altogether 409 Stuttgart citizens
were interviewed in the public
opinion poll. 95% of the people
knew about the problem of air
pollution concerning PM 10
in
their city. 65% of the interview
partners knew that a Clean Air
Programme had been established
in their city as a consequence
of the air pollution (Clean Air
Programme published in January
2006, interviews from March
to May 2007). The acceptance
survey was very successful and
serves as a model for a similar
study in connection with an Action
Plan on noise reduction.
